(I had thought I was in agreement with your overall point until I reached this part:

> "literally every single thing society chose to do for covid was wrong. We could have done nothing at all and been better off."

Perhaps this is only indicative of my own failings, but the absolute certainty you express here led me to greatly devalue your opinion and conclude that engaging with you wouldn't likely lead to an interesting discussion on the main topic. (E.g., Do you really believe that nothing that any aspect of society did related to covid positively affected the outcome?)

(Somehow, apparently, I still felt compelled to comment on this tangential/meta topic. Maybe I'm imagining that you might find my reaction useful or interesting or maybe I'm driven by internal factors, such as guilt at dismissing your perspective because of a couple of your specific word choices.))
